@BhUpasamo Le Grand Robert is here. You can zoom in a few times to get the high resolution version. If you manage to download it and share the link, I could take a look and see whether the code that transformed the OCRed Grand Larousse will eat this one, too.

The classic way to download from Archive.org doesn't seem to work anymore, since they been hacked. But who knows.....
EDIT: The image URL are only available as blob's, e.g. blob:https://archive.org/647c474a-73f0-42...9-333bd75e3b73. So you'll have to circumvent that first. All approaches are done with Javascript, and I am not willing to dive that deep.

EDIT: Found a mobi-dictionary from 2005 here.

EDIT:EDIT: I tried to convert the generated xdxf to dic-format. However, it keeps crashing. I got to 800k of the 1.2M lines and I am out of ideas to fix them. I even found that converter.exe responded differently whether I ran it in a clean wine surrounding or in already used one. I'll upload the xdxf-file and the stardict file tomorrow.
